I'm sorry I can't help you. I've had chickens that all of a sudden can't walk, and it's never a good outcome. What happens, I don't know. It's very frustrating. I hope someone who knows more will come on and help you out. Good Luck!

Sorry I have no idea as to what it could be. If I were you I'd find a vet who would look at a chicken, some will - some will referr you to one....or find a large animal/livestock vet. I think that is gonna be your best route. Your Rooster sounds like he's a nice bird.

I have a list of Avian Vets. What area are you in? Are you anywhere near M.S.U.?

With all the Christmas activities going on I haven't been on the forum for a few days...I am not going to be able to go back and read everything so basically I am just popping in to say "hi'". I haven't unscubcribed to the Michigan forum thread but haven't been alerted to new posts via my mail box for some reason.

Looks like an icy day tomorrow...be careful everyone!

Good Morning Everyone. The fresh sprinkling of snow sure makes everything look pretty out here. I was a genius this morning and found a easy way to get my water out to the pen.....I used my kids sled!! So easy & hassle free. My DH will snow blow a path when the snow gets deep and the sled will make it smooth sailing.

The chickens were up and ready to get out in the pen. I brushed their walk off for a little bit of snow got on it and I know they would of thought....What the heck, that white stuff again! lol

My family & I spent the afternoon in Frankenmuth yesterday and had dinner @ Tiffany's. I must say for as much as we've been there over the years that little town always amazes me with the traffic it gets. Everyone came home with something except me. We were in a gift shop that had some very nice & reasonably priced items....Chicken items!! I spotted an oval rooster plate for my kitchen but it was sold out.

Oh well maybe next time!

Off to church we go......Everyone have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!!

Frankenmuth is my hometown and a great place to grow up. It has gotten so much bigger than it was when I was a kid, but still a fun place to play tourist.

Soooo excited! got a favorolle rooster on "loan". (He was slated for my DH's uncle's dinner table) Definitly not show quality or anything, but he has manners and i kinda like the little diamonds on him. with the diamonds and gold it reminds me of a "royal robe". I will put him with my pink egg layer this spring, and hopefully will get some pink egg hens out of it. (I have to have a closed flock, so i won't be able to give any away, sorry.)

Too many posts to catch up on, again. Guess that's what I get for getting too busy to check in a few times a day. LOL!

I hope everyone is doing well. Only a couple more days until the Solstice; longer days ahead!
